The Protestant Baptist Church were formed on many beliefs, both relevant and irrelevant to that of other protestant churches. The Baptist mainly separated on the belief that "good" or bad" deeds do not get people in or out of heaven. I, myself, being a baptist, are taught people receive salvation not through good actions, but a strong faith in Jesus Christ. By faith in Christ, individuals in advertantly are a better person, but the main focus is on Jesus, not how great people can make themselves look.
If you mean the difference that separated the and baptists from the other Christian religions was Infant baptism. There was a huge dispute on whether a baby needed to be baptized before reaching " the age of accountability"
A lot of things, one of the ideas of a Baptist church is soul competency, which means that each believer is able to read and interpret scripture for themselves. This means that while Baptists have basic fundamental beliefs that they agree on, the majority of issues are open for individual interpretation and disagreement.

Many folks are confused about this issue. Baptist did not have a founder. Not a human founder that is. The head and founder of the church is Jesus Christ Their standards and beliefs come directly from the word of God. They are followers of the Bible and are NOT protastant,seperatists,or a branch from the Catholic church. However these people were not always called Baptists. In ancient times it was just New Testament Christians. The term "Baptist" came around just before the middle ages. Due to persecution the Baptists were in hiding in different parts of the world and did not have an official name, so they were just "Biblical Christians". the first Baptist church in America was The First Baptist Church Of New York. The pastor was a man named John Clark who was a preacher from England.
